Re: Pacers/Bulls postgame thread

Danny had a very good game offensively with 3/4 3 point shots.Please confirm that because of the heat of the game i can't totally recall but didn't Vogel change the rotations in the last quarter?West played almost all of it and we also had George,Tyler and Hill in there while Danny and Roy were getting some rest.I certainly liked that more as it was more balanced and we had real scoring options.

Also, no Lou in the second half (thank God). Roy, West, and Hansbrough just did some heavy lifting.

Tyler is slowly getting his aggression back with 10 FA attempts in his last 29 min of play, now we need to fix Hill who's only picked up just 4 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists the last two nights in 45:46 of floor time.

Re: Pacers/Bulls postgame thread

Anyone else impressed with DC's D against Hamilton late? I was really wondering if we should have gone with George and Paul, but Darren was very good against Hamilton. Bulls definitely wasted a couple possessions trying to score on Darren and he did a good job denying it.

I'm often impressed with DC's defense. He is very slight of frame and not incredibly tall or long, but he uses the one strength he has - speed - quite well. If you re-watch this game, as I'm sure a few of you will, I think you'll find that Darren was all hustle on D. Obviously, not without lapses, but very, very solid. He always gets up for Derrick Rose.

Re: Pacers/Bulls postgame thread

Had to listen to Boyle, but what a win! Yes, the Bulls lacked Deng and Gibson, but It was great to see this team close out the 4th quarter against this team after last year's playoff collapses.

GM Bulls board observation that I noticed: Having Hibbert and West at forward (and Hans off the bench), Boozer can't hide defensively. That apparently is why they put in Scalabrine late (and yes, that same board is having a mild meltdown over that move). I like the way we match up with them.

Re: Pacers/Bulls postgame thread

I know there was a lot of complaining about DC tonight, but the guy put up 11 points, 8 assists, and 6 rebounds....shooting 5-6 from the charity stripe....He had some moments of lapse of judgement, but overall he had a pretty good game. Even the behind the back pass in the 4th wasn't a bad play. It was just a risky play that missed...If that pass would've connected for a wide open 3, we would be talking about how great it was...This kids only going to get better....

The hate on DC is crazy. He is not going to be an elite point guard. Just let him be him, and let the others benefit.

Boozer had 5 fouls, they prob didn't want him to foul out esp if it went into ot

Re: Pacers/Bulls postgame thread

Not that but I think we are going to hear that they didn't have Deng, Gibson and this was Drose's first game in a long time.

Rose played 36 minutes on Monday. He had a great game. So it was his second game back.

His 4th qtr execution is downright atrocious. I dont know if this is b/c of Vogel or Collison, but if I watch collison dribble the shot down while he waits to run a pick and roll where he NEVER turns the corner on, I swear I'll scream. He would be a great backup PG, but barring a sudden growth spurt, I dont think he's ever gonna be much better than what he currently is
